I have been following the present political dispensations of this country and realised that since my existence on the surface of this country, I have not witnessed a time like this where every Tom, Dick and Harry or association would come out freely and make inflammatory and treasonable statements that will definitely jeopardise the national security and corporate existence of this country and go free without at least a simple invitation from the DSS or the Police.
What's happening today, as far as the national security and unity of this country are concerned, with nothing coming from the security apparatus of this country to checkmate the perpetrators would not augur well to us. This had not happened even during the so called clueless and lenient Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's era.
Now that Arewa youths gave Igbo October ultimatum, Yoruba youths sent a warning signal to Igbo, South South youths gave Hausa and Yoruba ultimatum to leave their region, so also Igbo youths to Hausa and their violent agitation to secede, I have not heard any of the security agencies, DSS in particular, make any move to even caution any of these peoples.
Sequel to this, the number of these organisations, individuals and beating of war drums are on the increase on daily basis to attract attention and seek for notice because they have observed nothing has been done to their predecessors. One may think there is no law governing this country. I pray we are not moving towards Rwanda.
Is there anything freedom of expression when it involves national security and protections of lives and property of citizenry? Certainly no! I believe this can't be tolerated even in the advanced democracies like the United States and United Kingdom.
The government and its security apparatus have to wake up from their deep slumber and deal decisively with the situation if they really want us live in peace not in pieces.
